We had a great experience staying here with our 2-year old. The host is absolutely amazing

We had a great experience staying here with our two dogs. The host is fantastic. The private outdoor courtyards are adorable and the host provided coffee for the morning! Would definitely stay here again.

I would recommend this cottage. Definitely need car to get around and to Beach, but that’s pretty much all of California. Host is exceptional!

The casita was a perfect home base for a short weekend stay in Long Beach visiting family. It's in a wonderful location in the Cal Heights neighborhood, great for walks and minutes away from Steelhead Coffee and the Blackbird cafe. The casita was very clean and had everything we needed. (Favorite part was the tranquil, private back patio) Lars was an amazing host, super easy to communicate with, immediately responding to any questions and offering tips and suggestions on the neighborhood. Highly recommended! Also don't miss the fresh baked cookies he leaves in the casita—delicious.

Lars was a fantastic host, and we appreciated the privacy he gave us, while still being available to answer any questions we had and give excellent recommendations. The casita was so cute and the extra touch of having basics in the fridge ready for us ( like eggs and water) alongside homemade cookies was much appreciated. The property also had a great park within walking distance which was important to us as a family. We will definitely book here again during our next trip!

My besties and I needed a quick girls weekend to Southern California. We live in Vegas, so the drive is nothing. Lars is just the best host! He had everything so clean and ready for our arrival. It was the perfect fit for 4. He also had fresh basked cookies waiting for us. We will most definitely be back!

Loved my stay at Casita Gundry! Every detail has been considered, and while the Casita is small, it has everything you could want. A/c worked perfectly. House was immaculately clean. Loved the contactless entry. Coffee pods were provided, and there were plenty of clean, nice dishes. Private back patio was shaded & quiet with citronella candles provided. Bathroom had all the amenities. It reminded me of boutique hotels in Tokyo, where they've mastered the art of offering superb hospitality when space is at a premium- you never feel lacking or like the space is 'tight.' And best of all, Lars left some yummy treats that I munched my way through. Can't recommend enough. Thank you so much for a great stay!

What can we say? From the artfully designed birthday message on the fridge & the amazing fresh pastries, cookies & fruit bowl to the helpful yet unobtrusive host, this was our best VRBO stay yet (and we are world travelers). Beautiful interior decoration & design & well appointed with high end toiletries, this was a 5 star experience in every way. So happy to have found a place to stay when visiting friends & family. Thank you!

Lars was a great host! The space is perfect for a family who needs a basecamp to sleep and out to enjoy Long Beach. He thought of every little touch including the jar of homemade cookies and fresh pastries, a great touch and talked about daily by my 9 & 12 year olds. It is pet friendly with a great yard to roam & patio for the family to enjoy. We’ll definitely be back our next visit to SoCal!

Loved everything about staying here! Not only is it just footsteps away from my family while we are in town, Lars as a host, was so amazing! From the super sweet location, accommodations, super cute cottage and yard, we were so welcomed and felt so cared for- from fresh pastries, fruit, coffee, eggs, .... everything was just perfect! Will definitely be back! Thank you, Lars!

This place is so nice. Lars is one of the best host. Helpful in any way you may need, gives you your privacy and fresh baked cookies. My Vrbo experience was great.

Lars was an amazing host! Freshly baked cookies, Porto’s in the fridge and a cozy home? This experience was one of the most positive ones I have ever had!

the host of this property is wonderful, thoughtful and pays attention to details. I booked this property for a buisness partner of mine and she absolutely felt like she was in a home away from home. Thank you Lars for making her trip so pleasent :)

We had a very pleasant stay. The rental was comfy, clean, adorable and easy to find. Centrally located, so we didn't have to travel far when traveling around Long Beach. Lars provides everything you need: soft towels, wonderful bedding, cookies, coffee, and all other accoutrements needed to make your stay cushy and complete. A definite recommended! Thank you, Lars. :-)

Charming cottage with attention to all details. Comfy bed great towels. Fresh cookies fun back patio. Perfect get away

This the cutest little home! I stayed with my daughter & her husband. There is a full-sized bed in front bedroom & bunkbeds in the 2nd room. The bottom bunk is full-sized, sleeps 2 and, if needed, also converts into a sofa. The Casita is tastefully decorated. As long as you are not the type to "spread out", it's perfect for a cozy stay. There is a small kitchen: refrigerator, 2-burner stove, microwave, toaster - all you need for a light breakfast or reheat leftovers. With nice weather, enjoy your coffee on the patio. The beds are comfortable and the linens are to die for! You can just sink into the softness & relax. It is an extremely quiet neighborhood. (Be sure to set the alarm if you have an appointment in the morning!) The Casita is located close to the LB airport & within minutes to 405 or 710 freeways. It's in a lovely neighborhood. Grocery store is nearby, as is a CVS & Walgreen's. I have family in the area and this was a perfect home to be nearby but not underfoot. It's not a cookie-cutter hotel room: no elevator noise, no upstairs neighbor stomping on floor. Peaceful. That's a quality that cannot be said about many venues. The owner lives in the home in front & you'd never know he was home. (He's a stealth ninja!) Lars provided coffee, tea, creamer. He even bakes cookies! With all the craziness of family Thanksgiving, Casita Gundry was the best choice I could have made for a 3-day stay. I will definitely book another stay!

Charming, thoughtful, and well designed accommodations down to the seasonally appropriate pumpkins and the sweets

Very enjoyable! Clean... comfortable. Treats in the refrigerator and cookies in the cookie jar! Parking on property was a plus.

I found Casita Gundry to be a comfortable, cozy, and quiet retreat. Located in a safe picaresque neighborhood of bungalows and cottages just west of the Long Beach airport, it is perfect for a couple or small family looking for a Southern California adventure. Centrally located, access to all the attractions the region has to offer is simple and easy. Lars is attentive and available for all your questions and needs. Quiet, comfortable, and private are the watchwords for this property.

Our family loved staying here. Lars was such a wonderful host. We were greeted with a personalized welcome sign on the fridge. It was so thoughtful. Lars also left snacks and bottled water for us. The claw foot bathtub was really special. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay in the casita was fantastic! Located in a historical home district of Long Beach, the owners Lars has created a beautiful little getaway casita. Small but very well equipped with everything we needed. We took our twins to their 1st trip to Disneyland for their 5th birthday, then ended our trip with 3 days in the casita for some beach time and relaxation. Lars was extremely helpful in every way, kept in contact with me about everything! I am a big cook and was able to cook a great family meal while our children played and watched movies. All the great beaches and shopping were within about 15 minutes of drive time, making it easy for a day at the beach the ability to come back and cook a meal. The upgrades and details Lars made for the casita were fantastic. When you travel and stay in someone else’s home you wonder if you will have what you need and if you will be comfortable, no worries here, you feel right at home. Thank you Lars for creating such a place to call home for a vacation , we will be back for sure!

Beautiful accommodations. The hosts are extremely kind and thoughtful. The guest house is very comfortable and beautiful. This was exactly what my family needed after a long drive and an all day stay at an amusement park. Very cute and quite neighborhood. Very good experience. I will be back!

Our stay at the Casita was amazing. This little cozy house makes you feel right at home. Lars made sure that we were able to get into the home safe and checked to make sure we needed anything. He made a great breakfast recommendation. The home is located in a very quiet neighborhood and is within walking distance to great food. The homemade cookies that were left was a great treat. Make sure to walk around the area and view all the historical homes and beautiful yards. We will definitely stay at the Casita again!
